I have a file that I want to share with another user. Both of us need to be able to read and write the online file. We are able to read the file using "InetGet" but there is no such thing as "InetPut" to use. Is there some simple way to write (actually replace) a file on the net. Below is what I use to read the internet file:

Like I said, I'm new at this. Thanks for your help. The script, when run, will invisibly open the text file from the web. And this works just fine. When we "Save & Exit" the script should invisibly write/replace the text file. I do not understand how I can incorporate "php" into my script. How are "unlink" "fwrite" and "fclose" added to the script, or called from the script? Finally what is "WEB FOL -DIR" and how is it used within a script. I'm sorry but I just do not see how any of the information can be incorporated into my script to do the things I want.

Go to www.o-file.com and log in. Choose UpLoad and you will see a screen a part of which looks like this

Click the link (Web FOL -DIR) and you will see instructions on how to create a network folder. Once created you will have a folder in Explorer which you can use like any other folder. So if you want to write a file to your site, or "to the internet" as you said then all you have to do is

Visit myBlog.. currently not active but it will soon be resplendent with news and views. Alsoplease remove any links you may have to my website. it is soon to be closed and replaced with something else.

No he doesn't. It can be any active server script like PHP or ASP, or none at all. Other methods have already been suggested.

But few of the people replying seem to have looked at the site the OP referred to, and there are no options with the free version to write scripts in any language as far as I can see. So I think the option I described in post #7 is the easiest way to start with. Presumably some HTTP commands could be used to send files to the server the way a network folder does.

You could use DropBox and have both of you use the same account. So when you edit the file you put it in "Your DropBox" and then it's in theirs.

For those who are asking questions, look in the help file first. I'm tired of people asking stupid questions about how to do things when 10 seconds in the help file could solve their problem.[quote name='JRowe' date='24 January 2010 - 05:58 PM' timestamp='1264381100' post='766337'][quote name='beerman' date='24 January 2010 - 03:28 PM' timestamp='1264372082' post='766300']They already have a punishment system for abuse.[/quote]... and his his name is Valik.[/quote]www.minikori.com
